I was born ready, Okay? That like a Mauston Okay. So, guys,

(01:13):
be probably related, Some are about r H I M.
Some are going to get a little personal. So we're
going to start with the first few questions and they're
about RHOM what.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Was one moment caught on film that made you say,
oh shit, I cannot believe this was filmed.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I know, I feel like I have a few of them.
I can really pinpoint one. What about you? What are
you thinking? Well, nothing that pertains to me, but I know,
do what it perfect that you know because you never
share anything? You know? Maybe it's because you never share anything.
Have you asked yourself that question? Nobody other you would
want them to like you didn't have no ship moment.
You've been on the show for seven years? Six years
(01:53):
ship moment on our show? Yeah, but that has to
do with Marathon. There's many no my love. Yes, it
does that you would have not on film? Yeah, you
say oh shit. Yeah, I thought it was about everybody
started saying to you, no, okay, talk about yourself.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I don't know. I kind of never thought anything was
like oh shit. I was always like, okay, that's cool whatever.
I'm here to do this, this is what I'm here
to do. People like it, don't like it, I'm okay
with it. I thought it was like an oh shit
moment on the show, And for me, I thought like
my moment with Lenny was like oh shit, like that happened, right,
that was pretty wild. Right, Well, I always take things
(02:33):
for myself, So I mean there's so many O shit
like our whole shit, I mean, sorry for it, and
slip our show is like an oh shit moment, like
think about it. So you know there's so many, but
I felt like you were asking about us. My favorite
oh shit moment of you was when you were having
your Venue magazine party and Karen came in and asked
you about Frankie and you threw her out of your party.
(02:56):
I was like, oh shit, no she didn't.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
And your hands were flying in the air and you
were going like a crazy person. Oh yeah. To me,
that was like the best TV because I love watching
you when you go crazy and you throw your hands
in here. You've had so many. That's why I can't
make such a good and I don't remember none of
my own ship moments because I think I'm so much
black out. I black out. Yeah it's I get something
that's bigger than me. I didn't it. I know it's big.
(03:22):
It just comes out, yeah, and I just can't even
control myself myself back. Yeah. Yeah, but I know how
many of them? So thank you? That was my favorite
was one that was a good one.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
You get out?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
You did? You can?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You drew out?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
In the day, nobody would throw anybody out. No, it's
a very common housewife you saying. But back in the
day it was like nobody was doing that. But yes
I did, Meredith Marks. Now have this you can leave
and everybody loves and I'm like, oh, please, Bro did
that ten years ago? Yeah, thank you? I kind of did.
Nobody did you get out? Or remember when you with
(04:00):
your hands you were showing her with a door even
though there was no door on a terrace and it
was like eight entrances. That was funny.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
That was funny. Okay, what was one moment while filming
that still makes you absolutely cringe?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
M it's because we've been doing it for such a
long time.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Nothing that makes you cringing. You just kind of you
get a thick skin. Yeah, I still have a moment
to this day, but you don't think.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
About the I'm not gonna lie. But after when I
saw it, the Lenny moment that made me cringe. That
for me wasn't so much shit. No, for me, it
was more cringey because I was like, wow, like what
he said, you know, like what he said, like the
whole thing was just like super cringing, and you know
what's super cringey to Mexico or the dolls, dolls or
(04:57):
whatever like that was cringing. Yeah, that was cringeing. I actually.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Remember in my skin at the moment when we were
at a party in season two at Least a Pliners
and we had a drag queen on the show, and
he feted me and he was chasing me around a
lady's a lady's Amelio Pucci luncheon that I helped put on,
(05:27):
chasing me around like b Arthur with a big old
wig and a handbag and running and I was running
away from I don't even know why I ran away from.
I think also because he was like seven feet tall,
I think it was, and I was I was.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Bending backwards and he was like leaning over me, and
it was just so uncomfortable and I was so mortified.
I've never even seen such behavior in my life. And
to this day I cringe at me running away because
I should have taken my shoe off. I end up
taking out much. I wasn't my friend. I would have
(06:05):
defended you.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
And hit him over the head, and so get out
of here. With your crazy ass wig. But you know,
I'm just too polite. You know, I wasn't raised that way.
What was the most meaningful moment with another castmate that
was caught on film?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
All my meaningful moments are with you friends, meaningful? Yeah,
that was my special the real Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, yeah, we go deep, we get real and them.
We have so much empathy for each other. It's a
beautiful thing. Yeah, hopefully you all have a good friend
like I have an Alexia and vice versa.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
What was one moment that you had with a fellow
cast memory or that wasn't filmed you wished was Oh,
that wasn't filmed.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Sometimes not all the scenes make it.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Well, no, it says that wasn't filmed and you wished
it was. Well I I thought, like you that it's
a moment that didn't make it. So let's go with that,
because that wouldn't make sense the other way.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Okay, sometimes not all the scenes making it. After Oh,
we wish that would have made it. But I feel
like all our scenes make it when you and I film,
that's scenes. But I mean it could be with any
other cast member, So like, do you have any with
any other cast members that didn't make it.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I think every time I do a scene with you,
I'm like, oh my god, it was so good. We
nailed it, and they usually like ninety eight point nine
percent of.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
The time make it. I really know. I'm trying to
think to see if maybe with some of the other
girls scenes some time I made it.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I can think of plenty that didn't make it, and
I'm so glad they didn't make them because they were dreadful.
I saw the dread, and everyone else saw the dread in.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
The scene and they got it. Thank you, baby, g Yes.
Uh huh m hmm.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Many housewives have been stepping away from filming. At what
point do you think either of you able step away?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I really can talk about that. That is true that
many housewives have been, you know, stepping away from filming,
and you and I have been talking about this a
lot lately, and we have been talking a lot about it.
You know, I've seen it. You know. I feel like
I was one of the first housewives that stepped away
from filming when Frankie got into the accident and I
decided to step down because I wasn't mentally capable of
(08:41):
doing this emotionally psychologically well, I mean, everybody handles their
journey different, you know, and we saw that with Gertie.
That was so courageous this season. You know, for me,
the medical things are very tough for me to share
because I am so it's not because it's private. I
don't want to say that it's because no work for you.
But for me, it's not that it's private because if
(09:02):
I can help anyone, to inspire anybody, But for me,
it's because I'm in so much pain that I just
can't get myself together. Yeah, I just can't. Like I
just can't. So, like I said, I feel like I
was one of the first ones that did that because emotionally, mentally, psychologically,
I couldn't do it. And you know, the network supported
(09:25):
me and the producers and everyone, and it was obviously
the best decision that I made for me and my family.
And I still think the same thirteen years later, that
I would be willing to step down, and I would
step down if I you know, my family is the
most important thing to me. Yeah, you always say that.
I've always said that publicly, and I really do believe it,
(09:47):
and I think that that's I mean that's me particularly.
You know, I feel like I would have a lot
like longevity, you know, as far as I got the
women go. You know, I feel like I belong and
I could be part of this as long as I
want to be. You know, I think I'm just one
of those people that I could be there forever if
that's what I would choose. But you know, I also
(10:10):
believe that, you know, sometimes you have to know when
when to go. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I feel like the housewives, the franchisees, a lot of
them are like falling apart and they're just trying to
redo it and paste the whole thing back together in
a different way. But at the end of the day,
it's the same thing over and over again. I just
don't know how long it's going to keep going on.
And you know, I'm here for the ride as long
as they want to have me and as long as
(10:36):
I'm still having fun doing it, because I do enjoy
doing it. I try to make my job fun and
you know, and that's the most important thing. You have
to love what you do. And I love what I do.
And when I stop loving it, then I'm out. What's
(10:56):
that special thing that Miami has that. No other franchise,
Sassong s. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I feel like we just have like that, you know,
that flavor, that sexiness, like that, we have fun. You know,
we're unique. We're like different, you know. We we fight hard,
but we love hard. Yeah, there's a lot of friendships
in this franchise. Yeah, I feel like on a lot
of the other ones, the women really are not friends,
(11:28):
don't like each other too much. It's just like a
bad thing. Because I think it is, you know, I
want to see it's a good thing. I like to
think it's a beautiful I love it. I was just
two days ago with Lars and Lisa we missed you, yeah,
and Julie and Kiki and you know, and they see
us and they're like, oh my god. You guys are
like real friends because you can tell we like talk
(11:49):
to each other, like each other, you know, like real friends.
We listen to each other, we enjoy being with each other,
we laugh, you know. And I feel that's an anomaly
in the for sure, you know. But by the way,
I mean, it could fluctual, you know, it could change
being from season to season. But you know, I think
that that's what everyone loves about Miami besides our city,
(12:11):
you know, that's so gorgeous. And the way you know,
we dress, the way we look, the way we speak,
I feel like, you know, we bring that, you know,
we bring the fact that this is how this show
was really like originated, Like the real women that are
friends that have things in common and we know how
to disagree and have a fight, but then they come
(12:32):
back together. Yeah, And I think that's really and the
most special thing about it. And we have a lot
of fun together. There's a's a it's a fun group
of people, and there's humor in our show. A lot
of the shows are very serious and dry or toxic.
I think that people enjoy watching us live nice lives,
have fun together, dress, agree, get back together and have
(12:55):
some real friendships. There's some long friendships here, you know.
And we're all so different, which makes it like really
cool alsome everybody, right, We're all different age groups, different ethnicities,
different backgrounds, and you know, and we just all like
come together and we like make it work and authentically
like each other, which is kind of crazy because people
(13:17):
and you know, I know what America likes. America likes
to see people fighting and writing all these like vicious
comments and all that, and I don't like that. I'm like,
you know, why can't we just go back to the
times where you know, people wanted to watch TV and
wanted to see women liking each other having fun like
the Golden Girls, you know, yeah, you know what they
(13:42):
would still talk like we might remember the child the
Golden Girls that I watch with my grandmother and still
watch them, by the way, and they disagree. They're all different,
you know, they're all different, of course, and all this,
and they were fight but then they would come together,
you know, And I feel like we have chacecake at midnight,
But are you skinny bitches that you wont do it?
(14:02):
You'll do everything else, but you wanted the cheesecake with
me being the one in the cheese cheesecake.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
You know what I have to now that you're talking
about that, And I don't want to do any kind
of a sidebar, but I must. This whole thing that
happened in New Jersey is so horrible. I can't even
stomach watching it. It's disgusting. And everyone's like, oho, sar,
do you want to like sasty?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And that's what they want? Is that? What kind of
behavior is that?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
It's horrible someone choking one personally, I don't want to
put a go through a glass over your head.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It was how do they allow that? I mean there
has to be like in every you know, this is
a job, Like that's a liability, this is a job,
and like I'm sure, but I'm just saying in any
work environment, you know, people that would get fired for
this is what I'm saying. Like even if like let's say,
even if it's like a company and they have, like
they say, their company party, their Christmas party, and that
(14:57):
happens between two employees, I'm sure there's repercussions. There's repercussions,
but you know, but that's not enough. Like if you're
really you know, and I happen to be friendly with
Jennifer and I love Jennifer and she's really not like that,
but they put you in that position and Danielle got
in her face. I'm not saying too right, but what
(15:17):
I'm trying to say is that Danielle got in her face. Yeah,
like that, And I was like, Okay, well that happened
on our show too, in season two with the slap
Joanna and Adriana. We were doing that a long time
ago too, but I feel like, well, when she threw
a glass that also lost. Oh yeah, I don't think
violence should be tolerated.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And I don't think either if you can't use your
words or just give a look or walk away, then
just don't even be there because it's somebody else around you.
It's not you know, And I feel like to prove
a point, I don't want to work in that environment.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
No, And to prove a point, you don't have to
hit someone or you don't have to get physical with them.
I really don't believe in that. Use your words well,
I mean it's hard to use your words when you're
dealing with sorry and people they spoke Spanish would be
very satisfied and you will feel so good. It's like
(16:13):
a release. Yeah yeah, Turkish. I mean, I don't know.
I just think it's it's pretty crazy, and that's what
I'm saying. Like, I feel like a lot of these
shows are going back. I thought we had made so
much progress. I thought, you know, I felt like we
had made so much progress, you know, especially you know,
women supporting each other and just like you know, in
(16:35):
a more like loving, supportive environment. And there we go again. Look,
what's happening with Atlanta. Look what's happening with Jersey? Oh
my god, Atlanta too? That was like I don't like that,
Like why why are we going back? You know, it's
kind of like we take ten steps. But I feel
like Atlanta and and Jersey have always been like really
(16:55):
dirty down, like that different than the other shows, like
like they really go dirty down. It could be yeah.
I mean, you know, if you have characters wig pulling
and you know it's just all the iconic crazy scenes.
I feel do you think it's because the people want
to watch that, you think the audience is really invested,
(17:17):
But don't you or you think that's just a turnoff?
How are people if you're reading, like what are people
saying about it?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I haven't read what people say. My thoughts are And
we talked about this last week about the New New
York cast. I think that people come on these shows
and they think there's a template for New Jersey. I've
got to be rough New Jersey style Atlanta. I got
to be like these Atlanta girls to keep up or
they're gonna get rid of me. And then they just
(17:45):
they go over the top too much.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
They're watching, but there's doing it I mean, well, that's
oji crazy behavior back in the day. Yeah, I mean yeah,
I mean I I just think it's really disappointing between
you and I. I mean, I know I'm part of this,
you know, because I I am part of the broader
world and the franchise, but you know, as a cast
(18:07):
member and as talent, I find it really disheartening and
totally and just like sad. You know that I felt
like all that was in the past. I mean, I
know that we you.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Know, in their real lives when they go out, because
I know I behave the way I behave good point
on an off camera, I'm the same person on and.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Off I say the same thing. One say. I don't
do anything in the show life that I don't do
in my real life. Like people that know me, they're like, okay,
this is like who you are. I can't imagine that
they do that in their regular life. Like who would
even do business with them, be friends with them. It's
just not normal. It's just too much. It's just you know,
when I get it that you say, well, you know
it's TV and it's a show and whatnot, but you
(18:53):
know this is a reality show. So it's like, are
you willing to go that you really Yeah, yeah, why
don't you start trying to be a little fake now? Yeah,
like I'd rather be you be a little fake then,
Like if this is really you and your real life
and you're doing this kind of stuff, it's scary. It's
a little scary. Absolutely, Okay. So the next couple of
(19:15):
questions are all Bravo related. You guys love this, You
guys love everything and anything that's Bravo.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah, yeah, thank you, thank you for that, thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Honestly that's working together. Yeah, no, for real, I love it.
You know, we we do get a lot of love
from the fans, and and if you don't like it,
then just don't, you know, then just don't be a
fan or just like don't because I feel like we
also get a lot of hate. But that's okay. That
comes with the territory.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Absolutely, if you're in the public eye, you're gonna get
love and even more hate. And that's okay because I
love taking my paycheck to the make mm I'll take
the hate.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I don't care. Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Outside of Bravo on how do you guys network with
other Bravo labs?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Oh my god, I can't. There's no way I.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Got chicken legs. And I'm wearing shorts today. So skinny
legs are so skinny. Sutton and I talk about how
skinny our legs are.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Mine. Stop it, that's not and I'm not working outside muscles.
That's not even what is that even? A leg that's
like a chicken wing. Bro, I've been working on a LEXI.
You don't see my muscle They're so skinny. Squat, Oh
my god.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
No, okay, well she doesn't like my skinny legs. Thanks God,
you're not a man.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Because no, they don't like those skinny legs. But Steve does, No,
he doesn't. Steve doesn't like my legs. No. I think
Steve went to the Hot club to have a cocktail. Good. Okay,
all right, Outside of Bravo con, how do you guys
network with other Bravo labs? Mm?
Speaker 2 (21:01):
We Well, you and I both have been around since
twenty ten, and we're friends with so many people from
so many shows from over the years. And so you know,
if we go to LA or New York, we go,
we call our friends, we visit them, they come to town.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
They call us. Yeah, Miami's pretty popular. A lot of
them come here, so yeah, hit this up and we
go out with them.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
So, for example, today I got a text from Luando Steps.
There's just old friendships with like you and Teresa and
you know, friends with the Shaws from shows of Sunset
and Frederick from.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
You're a Big Bra Celebrity. Yeah you like all that. Well.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I became friends with all them back in the day
when we started. I really haven't made a lot of
new friends since we restarted. I have just all my
old friends from back in the day.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I agree. Yeah, the only one that I would love
to be friends with friendlier would be Andy Cohen. Oh
my god, I seem really not interested in anybody else
we love, and I don't know, I just think I
would love to hang out with him. He's really kind
of like, you know, related or not, but he.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Just seems so like peaceful and cool and easy, and
we like easy, cool and peaceful and chill and funny.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
And he's a great dad. He's so good with his kids.
I love the relationship.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I do. True.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah, yeah, I agree that he's on her head. He's like,
he's like my only one really from I mean, you know,
like I love I just you know, I feel like
we have a special bond, like we've always said, with
all these women that do the same thing we do.
It's kind of like we get this, so we know,
so we share that. And I really like and get
along with her. I'm like, really particularly fond of all
(22:46):
my OG's it's just we've go so way back. And
his parents pretty cool too. She's so nice. She's so nice.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
She's like a Jewish mother, always sending gifts and checking
on you, and she's always worried about everyone's mental health.
And she's just a great, great person, regardless of the
craziness that you see on TV. She's just really like
a one on one good person. What's one city you
would love to see Bravo make a housewife franchise out of.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I mean maybe Chicago would be interesting, or you wants
to Mi or Arizona, Nashville. I mean, I feel like
right now it's oversaturated by the way it really is.
I think that we're living different times, and unless the
formula really changes, I feel like the more popular shows
(23:36):
will be more like summer houses.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
And I was actually thinking I wouldn't mind seeing housewives
of like Saudi Arabia, which will never happen we want
to buy no, no, no, no, but I want to
see behind the walls the dress by Ambarriceola.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
That's never going to happen, SA, Are you kidding me?
Because it would never be real. Remember this is a
real I know, I know, but show them. I would
like to see that.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I would like to see someone of different up the charade,
what's underneath behind the wall?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I mean, I mean I can say yeah, I saw
it also yeah, parents, but you know, I wasn't thinking
of Europe at this point because there are different culture
you know, obviously the French, and like America would not
really get it. I'm sorry. The question said it could
be international international, so you're you're open to another No,
(24:31):
I mean no, I feel like only Americans get these
kind of shows. I feel like, you know, the cultures
and people in different countries and continents don't understand this
pop culture and the housewives, so I still I feel
like it's an American thing, and but they have, you know,
(24:52):
and I thinkwives, British housewives know and they canceled it.
Yeah yeah, so no I don't. I don't think it works.
But again, you know, I feel like instead of I
don't think this is going to keep on growing. I mean,
this is just me personal. I don't think there's going
to be other cities unless they really changed the formula
(25:13):
and what these shows are about. So I think people
are getting really turned off by it.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah yeah, So these next couple of questions get a
little personal. Ooh, what's a habit you haven't been able
to break?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Whoa? Eating and drinking? Well, yours is not eating? My
love drink eat drinking? Wait, can we just clarify how
eating is not a bad habit is necessary? Bad eating,
it's necessary my love bad eating? Okay, you don't eat
bad and it's not a bad habit. And drinking right
(25:48):
like a bad habit would be like biting your nails. Yeah, okay,
so that's not our case, but that would be like
a bad habit.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Maybe laziness. I've become very lazy since I tired. What
I did overcome was anxiety. I used to have a
lot of anxiety, and I don't have it anymore. But
I have so much anxiety. How did you overcome?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
In my friend? I need you being lazy and not
leaving my house? You know, how could you doesn't like
anxiety like starts and it's like, well, when I first
stopped working, I had so much anxiety all the time.
I didn't know what anxiety was. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I didn't know how to disconnect from it because it
was so many years of working, working, working employees, people
calling me my phone, blowing parents. It was so much
all the time. It took me years. I had PTSD.
Now I'm very good at relaxing, and I.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
That's a good habit. Then you turned it into a
good habit, right.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
So I got rid of that anxiety that I had.
M Yeah, so that's how I did that. So now
I'm an expert relaxer. If anyone that needs tips on relaxing,
text me.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
You know, I feel like maybe one of my bad
habits that I have not been able to overcome is
maybe like talking over you, or like talking too much.
You're doing great to or this is phenomenal. See might
be all the books I'm reading are working for me.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I want everyone that listens to this to comment on
next podcast and tell Alexia how great she did today. Yes,
I think your anxiety is part of that, because you
have a lot of anxiety.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, well and you had a lot.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah, you've had a lot, and it gets you amped
up and you're like, I gotta get this done because
I'm onto the next thing, and I'm on the next thing,
you know, and you're always like, have so much going on,
and yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I want to work on that. I want to because
I feel like a lot of times I don't let
the other person talk. Yeah, I don't know it's a
bad habit or I think it's anxiety. I mean it's
just like a mixture. It's just like the way that
I am. So maybe it's like something that I don't
like that I recognize that I need to work on
a little bit. Like beautiful. I think today is going swimmingly. Oh,
(28:04):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
What's an unpopular opinion that you have that you actually
feel really strongly about.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Oh, we have a lot of unpopular opinions, which is
my all My unpopular opinions are political and I can't
say any of them, but yeah, right, yeah, I feel
like a lot of them are related to politics, and
that's why they're unpopular. Yeah, because there's that's what about exactly?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
If you could relive one day in your life, which
day would that be? I bet you have a feel.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
There's so many definitely. I mean I feel like as
a mom and as a mother, you know, their most
special day is the day that your children are born.
So that's you know that the day you still remember.
You know, it's been thirty one years the first time,
you know, I had to give birth to Peter and
then to Frankie twenty seven years ago. Oh damn baby,
(29:02):
and I remember, like I still remember the moment. I
still remember when I had the emergency Cinesian like how
it spelt like when they cut me. Oh I did,
but it took too long, So I remember that so
if I could relive that again, you know, the day
that I became a mother was like, you know, everything
would you want to feel that slice? Well except for that,
(29:25):
but then they put so much on SJ. I couldn't
even carry Peter because like I was vombiting. I got
so nauseous because they gave me. Oh yeah, it makes
me sick too. I mean, there's so many beautiful moments
that I would love, you know, to relive, you know again.
You know, the day I got married with Todd in
Saint Bart's was was beautiful, just him and I just
(29:46):
exchanging our vows alone is better, you know, just so many.
There's so many, you know that I can just think about,
you know that you would want to relive again. But
I think that those are the ones that really, like,
you know, stand out the most. You know, I had
so many beautiful moments with my mom and conversations, oh
my god, you know, with my dad, all the beautiful
(30:07):
trips that I took with my dad, not knowing that
he was going to have such a short life, you know,
and he was going to pass away when he's fifty
two years old. So it's so many of them. You know,
there are things that make me cry. Yeah, I know,
I was trying not to cry and like my voices
like breaking, but yeah, yeah, but you know, with you yeah, no,
for sure. You know, I, like I said, I've had
(30:29):
so many beautiful moments, you know that I would love
to relive with all the people that I've loved in
my life. And imagine how many people I've loved and
how many people I do love, you know that. Yeah,
you know, but you know what I carry inside, like
in my heart, and that's why my heart is so
filled of love, and so it's yours because I only
(30:50):
have love for you know, all these people that were
talking about, and all these moments and that's really all
you take. That's all you take with you. And I
feel like as we get over older, that's like what
we learned. Yeah, you know that all these materials make.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
You have less friends. You you know, who you love,
who you can trust. After a lot of time, you
get a handful of friends. That's all the only people
you want to spend time with, those only people that
make you feel good.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
And me, we asked me, and even with you, you know,
we've had so many beautiful moments, you know, as friends
having fun and celebrating and oh, so imagine me living
all those moments that good ones. We had some good ones,
That's what I'm saying. So it's like there's so many
of them, and you know, and I think that that's
like the secret that people need to hold on to,
(31:41):
like all the good and happy memories. Yeah, because that's
why I live. That's why I live happily. And I
live my life so differently because people say, oh my god,
you've gone through so much, you know, and they're like
they expect you to be miserable and angry and you know,
full of hate and full of sadness and I'm not
that person because I live my life differently and I
always like to take all the good, all the happy,
(32:03):
like that's that's what I really focus on, I swear.
And I know you God, I know you're giving me
that ability because it's such a virtue, Like it's such
an amazing thing that I have that you can just
because if God knows what I would be if I
wouldn't be that way, oh no, no, no noo. So
I just think of all that happy and and you
know what, and there's for me the way that I
(32:25):
look at in my perspective and my world and lectures world,
there's more happiness and greatness and positive things than negative.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
I really do believe, oh absolutely, absolutely, one hundred percent.
There are a lot of people that my God, the
things that have had I don't want to go down
at deep dark at but yeah, there's a lot of
people that I remember my dad had this girl that
he had. He had a few homes in this area
(32:57):
where I live, and there was a girl that would
come to this charity that he found helped fund. It's
helping people that were like amputees or crippled to sail.
Because my dad was a sailor, and he had this
girl that he would have come stay in his home.
She was so she was a theldemite baby. She was
(33:19):
born without arms or legs. And she would drive a huge.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Like what do you call that, like a winnebago, and
she had dogs.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
And he would give her the house and she would
stay there and she would go do the sailing classes,
and she was so happy and giggly. My dad was like,
this girl is so amazing. She's the happiest person in
the whole world. No husband, no children, but she travels
around in her winnebagel. I don't know how she would
drive it without arms and legs and would go sailing.
(33:51):
And she just lived her life happy against all odds.
And we all need to always realize there's someone that
has it worse, and and look at the blessings around you.
Mayor So, I love how spiritual you are. What's the
weirdest superstition secretly that you believe in? Oh, I got
(34:12):
some weird ones, but I feel like it's they're very Latino.
And I'm sure you have the same ones, like putting
your purse on the floor because you lose your money, right,
you have that one what about the toilet sea down?
That's an Asian one?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Oh, is it? I thought it was just like an
obsessive control, like upset, like OCD, like I need to
have the toilet seat down just because like esthetically it's
like it it looks weird, like like I need it down.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
So the Asians believe that all of the negative toxins
and evil spirits live in the toilets. You gotta put
the sea down, you're.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Keeping them out. And yeah, but what about when you
open it to pee whatever and you shut it quickly again? Okay,
I'd like that. So for me, it's not spiritual for superstitious.
For me, it's just that I'm most CD and I
have to see the toilets.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
You're keeping the too, You're keeping the bad juju out
of your house. Do you know how many times in
the middle of the night I go stumbling into the
bathroom because I do tinkle a lot. Well, that's happened too,
Or when the when the seat has been picked up,
which doesn't happen because Booberreley is it down, but that
has happened to me, And then I fall inside.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
There in the middle of the night. It's terrible do
you know what I'm talking about. The happened to me
is that it stays. You know that bike I'm going
by the Wayhotos I was talking about. Yeah, the warm sea,
the warm seat and the flushing and the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Guys, Alexi, you had the best toilet on the planet.
I was just telling you. You walk into the bathroom,
the lid pops open, you sit on the seat, It's
super warm. It feels you would have to get maracled.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
I would be like, bro, can you come out of
the bath I don't want to? And everything I know.
It also has the B day. Oh yeah, it's all there.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
It's got the perfect cleaner. When I sit on that toilet,
I feel like I'm being swallowed by my mother in
the hospital at birth. It's just like takes me back
to the womb. It is so comfortable and delicious. And
then when you get up, it flushes and the lick closes.
I was like, well, okay, mister, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Yeah, it does it offer you so it's so funny.
So when we go on vacation, toilet my friend, yeah,
well everyone should have one in their house. Honestly, it's
life changing. It is life changing. I don't know what
I'm doing it. I would do so much work there.
Oh I know, I like I take longer just because
I have that toilet. Oh, it's excellent. So when we
(36:46):
go on vacation and we're like the hotel's obviously they
don't have that, no matter what, you know, fancy hotel
you stay at, and I forget, So I go pee
and I don't flush. I know. It's like, hey, like
we're not at home, like so I like, it's funny.
So I pin, I'm always being to I'm not like you,
but I can imagine if you will get used to
mine and then he's like, you need to flush because
(37:07):
I forget to flush. I never flushed anywhere, So God
sad if I use your bathroom and I don't flush,
don't judge me. It's just because I'm used to my
total tolia.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
I know, the last few trips I took you, I
was like, I'm.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Sorry, I'm so used to the total doing it for me.
I'm like, okay, I got it. Don't worry. It's true.
Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
I thought the toilet was closed. How has your relationship
with God helped you throughout life?
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Everything? I mean, if God wasn't in my life, you know,
and in my heart we'd have no peace, and then
my yeah, I could not. And this is where you know,
I don't understand, you know how people that you know
don't know God or don't have a relationship with God
or with you know, how they go through things because
(38:10):
I feel that, you know, God has always been so
present in my life. You know. I always went to
Catholic school, and even though I wouldn't go to church
every Sunday, is kind of like He's always lived in
my heart. Like I have a direct communication relationship with him.
I talk to God every single day in the shore
when I'm driving. You know, I'm always thankful in the
(38:34):
morning when I wake up, Like this morning I woke up,
that was the first thing I did, you know. I
talked to him like he's like my best friend, and
like you can't let me down, like you got me
and I got you, but like I need you. So
you know, I talk to God like that, and you know,
so my angels, I'm so filled with faith, and I
think that that's why I've been able to get through
so many things in my life. Absolutely, and for sure
(38:56):
the time that my faith was tested the most, was
it Frankie And and with Frankie's accent, like I saw
like the miracle happen. So I have zero doubts that
there's a God and there's you know, and there's you know,
your angels and like the whole universe, universe just working. Yeah,
(39:18):
when you believe in it, you have to believe in it.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Yes, yeah, Oh my god, I feel like wish I were
on church. I'm like, yes, Amen, praise Lord, pass that
money asking around.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Yeah. And you know, when I was younger, I don't
know ever told you this, but my mom knows. I mean,
my mom's no longer here, but my mom used to
love to tell her friends this. And I would like
write letters to God. Oh really. And it wasn't market.
It wasn't like are you their godess me, Margaret. It
was kind of like, are you their goddess me Alexia?
(39:49):
And I'm not texting writing texting list, Oh I'm so
twenty twenty. I'm not writing about my period. I got
favorite things on my mind. Oh my god, that was
so good. So yeah, I used to write letters to
God and you know, just like you know, like whatever
(40:10):
it was like I was feeling what I would write
to God and I felt so much better. And you know,
I haven't done that a long time again with Frankie's accent,
and I started doing that. Yeah, journaling is good, especially
when you're going through something like that, because there's some
other times when I mean, journaling is always good, that's true,
(40:30):
but specifically that journ.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
But I imagined that if I did it, it would
be good.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Right, No, it is. It's very therapeutic. Yeah, and and
at that moment it was. It was very good for me.
But definitely like I have God present in my life
every single day.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Well, you know what, you can't live without God. He
put us here and he's taken us out and we
got to get along with him in the meantime. Yeah,
and he's shown me a lot of blessings and things
I've asked for one hundred per sid. You just got
to let go. You got to let go and let
him do his thing. You can't put a time frame
(41:08):
on it. You can't demand and you can't expect and
wait for it. You need to set it and you.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Can question him because sometimes that happens to your question
like why is this happening to me?
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Oh, because he's got a better plan for you, and
you just set it out there and throw it into
the universe and it will come around in an even
better way than you even expected.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Relics amen to that. Well, guys, it's been so much fun.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Was one moment caught on film that made you say,
oh shit, I cannot believe this was filmed.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I know, I feel like I have a few of them.
I can really pinpoint one. What about you? What are
you thinking? Well, nothing that pertains to me, but I know,
do what it perfect that you know because you never
share anything? You know? Maybe it's because you never share anything.
Have you asked yourself that question? Nobody other you would
want them to like you didn't have no ship moment.
You've been on the show for seven years? Six years
(01:53):
ship moment on our show? Yeah, but that has to
do with Marathon. There's many no my love. Yes, it
does that you would have not on film? Yeah, you
say oh shit. Yeah, I thought it was about everybody
started saying to you, no, okay, talk about yourself.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I don't know. I kind of never thought anything was
like oh shit. I was always like, okay, that's cool whatever.
I'm here to do this, this is what I'm here
to do. People like it, don't like it, I'm okay
with it. I thought it was like an oh shit
moment on the show, And for me, I thought like
my moment with Lenny was like oh shit, like that happened, right,
that was pretty wild. Right, Well, I always take things
(02:33):
for myself, So I mean there's so many O shit
like our whole shit, I mean, sorry for it, and
slip our show is like an oh shit moment, like
think about it. So you know there's so many, but
I felt like you were asking about us. My favorite
oh shit moment of you was when you were having
your Venue magazine party and Karen came in and asked
you about Frankie and you threw her out of your party.
(02:56):
I was like, oh shit, no she didn't.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
And your hands were flying in the air and you
were going like a crazy person. Oh yeah. To me,
that was like the best TV because I love watching
you when you go crazy and you throw your hands
in here. You've had so many. That's why I can't
make such a good and I don't remember none of
my own ship moments because I think I'm so much
black out. I black out. Yeah it's I get something
that's bigger than me. I didn't it. I know it's big.
(03:22):
It just comes out, yeah, and I just can't even
control myself myself back. Yeah. Yeah, but I know how
many of them? So thank you? That was my favorite
was one that was a good one.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
You get out?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
You did? You can?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You drew out?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
In the day, nobody would throw anybody out. No, it's
a very common housewife you saying. But back in the
day it was like nobody was doing that. But yes
I did, Meredith Marks. Now have this you can leave
and everybody loves and I'm like, oh, please, Bro did
that ten years ago? Yeah, thank you? I kind of did.
Nobody did you get out? Or remember when you with
(04:00):
your hands you were showing her with a door even
though there was no door on a terrace and it
was like eight entrances. That was funny.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
That was funny. Okay, what was one moment while filming
that still makes you absolutely cringe?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
M it's because we've been doing it for such a
long time.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Nothing that makes you cringing. You just kind of you
get a thick skin. Yeah, I still have a moment
to this day, but you don't think.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
About the I'm not gonna lie. But after when I
saw it, the Lenny moment that made me cringe. That
for me wasn't so much shit. No, for me, it
was more cringey because I was like, wow, like what
he said, you know, like what he said, like the
whole thing was just like super cringing, and you know
what's super cringey to Mexico or the dolls, dolls or
(04:57):
whatever like that was cringing. Yeah, that was cringeing. I actually.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Remember in my skin at the moment when we were
at a party in season two at Least a Pliners
and we had a drag queen on the show, and
he feted me and he was chasing me around a
lady's a lady's Amelio Pucci luncheon that I helped put on,
(05:27):
chasing me around like b Arthur with a big old
wig and a handbag and running and I was running
away from I don't even know why I ran away from.
I think also because he was like seven feet tall,
I think it was, and I was I was.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Bending backwards and he was like leaning over me, and
it was just so uncomfortable and I was so mortified.
I've never even seen such behavior in my life. And
to this day I cringe at me running away because
I should have taken my shoe off. I end up
taking out much. I wasn't my friend. I would have
(06:05):
defended you.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
And hit him over the head, and so get out
of here. With your crazy ass wig. But you know,
I'm just too polite. You know, I wasn't raised that way.
What was the most meaningful moment with another castmate that
was caught on film?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
All my meaningful moments are with you friends, meaningful? Yeah,
that was my special the real Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, yeah, we go deep, we get real and them.
We have so much empathy for each other. It's a
beautiful thing. Yeah, hopefully you all have a good friend
like I have an Alexia and vice versa.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
What was one moment that you had with a fellow
cast memory or that wasn't filmed you wished was Oh,
that wasn't filmed.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Sometimes not all the scenes make it.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Well, no, it says that wasn't filmed and you wished
it was. Well I I thought, like you that it's
a moment that didn't make it. So let's go with that,
because that wouldn't make sense the other way.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Okay, sometimes not all the scenes making it. After Oh,
we wish that would have made it. But I feel
like all our scenes make it when you and I film,
that's scenes. But I mean it could be with any
other cast member, So like, do you have any with
any other cast members that didn't make it.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I think every time I do a scene with you,
I'm like, oh my god, it was so good. We
nailed it, and they usually like ninety eight point nine
percent of.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
The time make it. I really know. I'm trying to
think to see if maybe with some of the other
girls scenes some time I made it.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I can think of plenty that didn't make it, and
I'm so glad they didn't make them because they were dreadful.
I saw the dread, and everyone else saw the dread in.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
The scene and they got it. Thank you, baby, g Yes.
Uh huh m hmm.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Many housewives have been stepping away from filming. At what
point do you think either of you able step away?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I really can talk about that. That is true that
many housewives have been, you know, stepping away from filming,
and you and I have been talking about this a
lot lately, and we have been talking a lot about it.
You know, I've seen it. You know. I feel like
I was one of the first housewives that stepped away
from filming when Frankie got into the accident and I
decided to step down because I wasn't mentally capable of
(08:41):
doing this emotionally psychologically well, I mean, everybody handles their
journey different, you know, and we saw that with Gertie.
That was so courageous this season. You know, for me,
the medical things are very tough for me to share
because I am so it's not because it's private. I
don't want to say that it's because no work for you.
But for me, it's not that it's private because if
(09:02):
I can help anyone, to inspire anybody, But for me,
it's because I'm in so much pain that I just
can't get myself together. Yeah, I just can't. Like I
just can't. So, like I said, I feel like I
was one of the first ones that did that because emotionally, mentally, psychologically,
I couldn't do it. And you know, the network supported
(09:25):
me and the producers and everyone, and it was obviously
the best decision that I made for me and my family.
And I still think the same thirteen years later, that
I would be willing to step down, and I would
step down if I you know, my family is the
most important thing to me. Yeah, you always say that.
I've always said that publicly, and I really do believe it,
(09:47):
and I think that that's I mean that's me particularly.
You know, I feel like I would have a lot
like longevity, you know, as far as I got the
women go. You know, I feel like I belong and
I could be part of this as long as I
want to be. You know, I think I'm just one
of those people that I could be there forever if
that's what I would choose. But you know, I also
(10:10):
believe that, you know, sometimes you have to know when
when to go. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I feel like the housewives, the franchisees, a lot of
them are like falling apart and they're just trying to
redo it and paste the whole thing back together in
a different way. But at the end of the day,
it's the same thing over and over again. I just
don't know how long it's going to keep going on.
And you know, I'm here for the ride as long
as they want to have me and as long as
(10:36):
I'm still having fun doing it, because I do enjoy
doing it. I try to make my job fun and
you know, and that's the most important thing. You have
to love what you do. And I love what I do.
And when I stop loving it, then I'm out. What's
(10:56):
that special thing that Miami has that. No other franchise,
Sassong s. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I feel like we just have like that, you know,
that flavor, that sexiness, like that, we have fun. You know,
we're unique. We're like different, you know. We we fight hard,
but we love hard. Yeah, there's a lot of friendships
in this franchise. Yeah, I feel like on a lot
of the other ones, the women really are not friends,
(11:28):
don't like each other too much. It's just like a
bad thing. Because I think it is, you know, I
want to see it's a good thing. I like to
think it's a beautiful I love it. I was just
two days ago with Lars and Lisa we missed you, yeah,
and Julie and Kiki and you know, and they see
us and they're like, oh my god. You guys are
like real friends because you can tell we like talk
(11:49):
to each other, like each other, you know, like real friends.
We listen to each other, we enjoy being with each other,
we laugh, you know. And I feel that's an anomaly
in the for sure, you know. But by the way,
I mean, it could fluctual, you know, it could change
being from season to season. But you know, I think
that that's what everyone loves about Miami besides our city,
(12:11):
you know, that's so gorgeous. And the way you know,
we dress, the way we look, the way we speak,
I feel like, you know, we bring that, you know,
we bring the fact that this is how this show
was really like originated, Like the real women that are
friends that have things in common and we know how
to disagree and have a fight, but then they come
(12:32):
back together. Yeah, And I think that's really and the
most special thing about it. And we have a lot
of fun together. There's a's a it's a fun group
of people, and there's humor in our show. A lot
of the shows are very serious and dry or toxic.
I think that people enjoy watching us live nice lives,
have fun together, dress, agree, get back together and have
(12:55):
some real friendships. There's some long friendships here, you know.
And we're all so different, which makes it like really
cool alsome everybody, right, We're all different age groups, different ethnicities,
different backgrounds, and you know, and we just all like
come together and we like make it work and authentically
like each other, which is kind of crazy because people
(13:17):
and you know, I know what America likes. America likes
to see people fighting and writing all these like vicious
comments and all that, and I don't like that. I'm like,
you know, why can't we just go back to the
times where you know, people wanted to watch TV and
wanted to see women liking each other having fun like
the Golden Girls, you know, yeah, you know what they
(13:42):
would still talk like we might remember the child the
Golden Girls that I watch with my grandmother and still
watch them, by the way, and they disagree. They're all different,
you know, they're all different, of course, and all this,
and they were fight but then they would come together,
you know, And I feel like we have chacecake at midnight,
But are you skinny bitches that you wont do it?
(14:02):
You'll do everything else, but you wanted the cheesecake with
me being the one in the cheese cheesecake.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
You know what I have to now that you're talking
about that, And I don't want to do any kind
of a sidebar, but I must. This whole thing that
happened in New Jersey is so horrible. I can't even
stomach watching it. It's disgusting. And everyone's like, oho, sar,
do you want to like sasty?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And that's what they want? Is that? What kind of
behavior is that?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
It's horrible someone choking one personally, I don't want to
put a go through a glass over your head.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It was how do they allow that? I mean there
has to be like in every you know, this is
a job, Like that's a liability, this is a job,
and like I'm sure, but I'm just saying in any
work environment, you know, people that would get fired for
this is what I'm saying. Like even if like let's say,
even if it's like a company and they have, like
they say, their company party, their Christmas party, and that
(14:57):
happens between two employees, I'm sure there's repercussions. There's repercussions,
but you know, but that's not enough. Like if you're
really you know, and I happen to be friendly with
Jennifer and I love Jennifer and she's really not like that,
but they put you in that position and Danielle got
in her face. I'm not saying too right, but what
(15:17):
I'm trying to say is that Danielle got in her face. Yeah,
like that, And I was like, Okay, well that happened
on our show too, in season two with the slap
Joanna and Adriana. We were doing that a long time
ago too, but I feel like, well, when she threw
a glass that also lost. Oh yeah, I don't think
violence should be tolerated.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And I don't think either if you can't use your
words or just give a look or walk away, then
just don't even be there because it's somebody else around you.
It's not you know, And I feel like to prove
a point, I don't want to work in that environment.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
No, And to prove a point, you don't have to
hit someone or you don't have to get physical with them.
I really don't believe in that. Use your words well,
I mean it's hard to use your words when you're
dealing with sorry and people they spoke Spanish would be
very satisfied and you will feel so good. It's like
(16:13):
a release. Yeah yeah, Turkish. I mean, I don't know.
I just think it's it's pretty crazy, and that's what
I'm saying. Like, I feel like a lot of these
shows are going back. I thought we had made so
much progress. I thought, you know, I felt like we
had made so much progress, you know, especially you know,
women supporting each other and just like you know, in
(16:35):
a more like loving, supportive environment. And there we go again. Look,
what's happening with Atlanta. Look what's happening with Jersey? Oh
my god, Atlanta too? That was like I don't like that,
Like why why are we going back? You know, it's
kind of like we take ten steps. But I feel
like Atlanta and and Jersey have always been like really
(16:55):
dirty down, like that different than the other shows, like
like they really go dirty down. It could be yeah.
I mean, you know, if you have characters wig pulling
and you know it's just all the iconic crazy scenes.
I feel do you think it's because the people want
to watch that, you think the audience is really invested,
(17:17):
But don't you or you think that's just a turnoff?
How are people if you're reading, like what are people
saying about it?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I haven't read what people say. My thoughts are And
we talked about this last week about the New New
York cast. I think that people come on these shows
and they think there's a template for New Jersey. I've
got to be rough New Jersey style Atlanta. I got
to be like these Atlanta girls to keep up or
they're gonna get rid of me. And then they just
(17:45):
they go over the top too much.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
They're watching, but there's doing it I mean, well, that's
oji crazy behavior back in the day. Yeah, I mean yeah,
I mean I I just think it's really disappointing between
you and I. I mean, I know I'm part of this,
you know, because I I am part of the broader
world and the franchise, but you know, as a cast
(18:07):
member and as talent, I find it really disheartening and
totally and just like sad. You know that I felt
like all that was in the past. I mean, I
know that we you.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Know, in their real lives when they go out, because
I know I behave the way I behave good point
on an off camera, I'm the same person on and.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Off I say the same thing. One say. I don't
do anything in the show life that I don't do
in my real life. Like people that know me, they're like, okay,
this is like who you are. I can't imagine that
they do that in their regular life. Like who would
even do business with them, be friends with them. It's
just not normal. It's just too much. It's just you know,
when I get it that you say, well, you know
it's TV and it's a show and whatnot, but you
(18:53):
know this is a reality show. So it's like, are
you willing to go that you really Yeah, yeah, why
don't you start trying to be a little fake now? Yeah,
like I'd rather be you be a little fake then,
Like if this is really you and your real life
and you're doing this kind of stuff, it's scary. It's
a little scary. Absolutely, Okay. So the next couple of
(19:15):
questions are all Bravo related. You guys love this, You
guys love everything and anything that's Bravo.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah, yeah, thank you, thank you for that, thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Honestly that's working together. Yeah, no, for real, I love it.
You know, we we do get a lot of love
from the fans, and and if you don't like it,
then just don't, you know, then just don't be a
fan or just like don't because I feel like we
also get a lot of hate. But that's okay. That
comes with the territory.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Absolutely, if you're in the public eye, you're gonna get
love and even more hate. And that's okay because I
love taking my paycheck to the make mm I'll take
the hate.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I don't care. Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Outside of Bravo on how do you guys network with
other Bravo labs?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Oh my god, I can't. There's no way I.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Got chicken legs. And I'm wearing shorts today. So skinny
legs are so skinny. Sutton and I talk about how
skinny our legs are.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Mine. Stop it, that's not and I'm not working outside muscles.
That's not even what is that even? A leg that's
like a chicken wing. Bro, I've been working on a LEXI.
You don't see my muscle They're so skinny. Squat, Oh
my god.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
No, okay, well she doesn't like my skinny legs. Thanks God,
you're not a man.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Because no, they don't like those skinny legs. But Steve does, No,
he doesn't. Steve doesn't like my legs. No. I think
Steve went to the Hot club to have a cocktail. Good. Okay,
all right, Outside of Bravo con, how do you guys
network with other Bravo labs? Mm?
Speaker 2 (21:01):
We Well, you and I both have been around since
twenty ten, and we're friends with so many people from
so many shows from over the years. And so you know,
if we go to LA or New York, we go,
we call our friends, we visit them, they come to town.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
They call us. Yeah, Miami's pretty popular. A lot of
them come here, so yeah, hit this up and we
go out with them.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
So, for example, today I got a text from Luando Steps.
There's just old friendships with like you and Teresa and
you know, friends with the Shaws from shows of Sunset
and Frederick from.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
You're a Big Bra Celebrity. Yeah you like all that. Well.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I became friends with all them back in the day
when we started. I really haven't made a lot of
new friends since we restarted. I have just all my
old friends from back in the day.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I agree. Yeah, the only one that I would love
to be friends with friendlier would be Andy Cohen. Oh
my god, I seem really not interested in anybody else
we love, and I don't know, I just think I
would love to hang out with him. He's really kind
of like, you know, related or not, but he.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Just seems so like peaceful and cool and easy, and
we like easy, cool and peaceful and chill and funny.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
And he's a great dad. He's so good with his kids.
I love the relationship.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I do. True.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah, yeah, I agree that he's on her head. He's like,
he's like my only one really from I mean, you know,
like I love I just you know, I feel like
we have a special bond, like we've always said, with
all these women that do the same thing we do.
It's kind of like we get this, so we know,
so we share that. And I really like and get
along with her. I'm like, really particularly fond of all
(22:46):
my OG's it's just we've go so way back. And
his parents pretty cool too. She's so nice. She's so nice.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
She's like a Jewish mother, always sending gifts and checking
on you, and she's always worried about everyone's mental health.
And she's just a great, great person, regardless of the
craziness that you see on TV. She's just really like
a one on one good person. What's one city you
would love to see Bravo make a housewife franchise out of.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I mean maybe Chicago would be interesting, or you wants
to Mi or Arizona, Nashville. I mean, I feel like
right now it's oversaturated by the way it really is.
I think that we're living different times, and unless the
formula really changes, I feel like the more popular shows
(23:36):
will be more like summer houses.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
And I was actually thinking I wouldn't mind seeing housewives
of like Saudi Arabia, which will never happen we want
to buy no, no, no, no, but I want to
see behind the walls the dress by Ambarriceola.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
That's never going to happen, SA, Are you kidding me?
Because it would never be real. Remember this is a
real I know, I know, but show them. I would
like to see that.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I would like to see someone of different up the charade,
what's underneath behind the wall?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I mean, I mean I can say yeah, I saw
it also yeah, parents, but you know, I wasn't thinking
of Europe at this point because there are different culture
you know, obviously the French, and like America would not
really get it. I'm sorry. The question said it could
be international international, so you're you're open to another No,
(24:31):
I mean no, I feel like only Americans get these
kind of shows. I feel like, you know, the cultures
and people in different countries and continents don't understand this
pop culture and the housewives, so I still I feel
like it's an American thing, and but they have, you know,
(24:52):
and I thinkwives, British housewives know and they canceled it.
Yeah yeah, so no I don't. I don't think it works.
But again, you know, I feel like instead of I
don't think this is going to keep on growing. I mean,
this is just me personal. I don't think there's going
to be other cities unless they really changed the formula
(25:13):
and what these shows are about. So I think people
are getting really turned off by it.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah yeah, So these next couple of questions get a
little personal. Ooh, what's a habit you haven't been able
to break?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Whoa? Eating and drinking? Well, yours is not eating? My
love drink eat drinking? Wait, can we just clarify how
eating is not a bad habit is necessary? Bad eating,
it's necessary my love bad eating? Okay, you don't eat
bad and it's not a bad habit. And drinking right
(25:48):
like a bad habit would be like biting your nails. Yeah, okay,
so that's not our case, but that would be like
a bad habit.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Maybe laziness. I've become very lazy since I tired. What
I did overcome was anxiety. I used to have a
lot of anxiety, and I don't have it anymore. But
I have so much anxiety. How did you overcome?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
In my friend? I need you being lazy and not
leaving my house? You know, how could you doesn't like
anxiety like starts and it's like, well, when I first
stopped working, I had so much anxiety all the time.
I didn't know what anxiety was. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I didn't know how to disconnect from it because it
was so many years of working, working, working employees, people
calling me my phone, blowing parents. It was so much
all the time. It took me years. I had PTSD.
Now I'm very good at relaxing, and I.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
That's a good habit. Then you turned it into a
good habit, right.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
So I got rid of that anxiety that I had.
M Yeah, so that's how I did that. So now
I'm an expert relaxer. If anyone that needs tips on relaxing,
text me.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
You know, I feel like maybe one of my bad
habits that I have not been able to overcome is
maybe like talking over you, or like talking too much.
You're doing great to or this is phenomenal. See might
be all the books I'm reading are working for me.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I want everyone that listens to this to comment on
next podcast and tell Alexia how great she did today. Yes,
I think your anxiety is part of that, because you
have a lot of anxiety.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, well and you had a lot.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah, you've had a lot, and it gets you amped
up and you're like, I gotta get this done because
I'm onto the next thing, and I'm on the next thing,
you know, and you're always like, have so much going on,
and yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I want to work on that. I want to because
I feel like a lot of times I don't let
the other person talk. Yeah, I don't know it's a
bad habit or I think it's anxiety. I mean it's
just like a mixture. It's just like the way that
I am. So maybe it's like something that I don't
like that I recognize that I need to work on
a little bit. Like beautiful. I think today is going swimmingly. Oh,
(28:04):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
What's an unpopular opinion that you have that you actually
feel really strongly about.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Oh, we have a lot of unpopular opinions, which is
my all My unpopular opinions are political and I can't
say any of them, but yeah, right, yeah, I feel
like a lot of them are related to politics, and
that's why they're unpopular. Yeah, because there's that's what about exactly?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
If you could relive one day in your life, which
day would that be? I bet you have a feel.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
There's so many definitely. I mean I feel like as
a mom and as a mother, you know, their most
special day is the day that your children are born.
So that's you know that the day you still remember.
You know, it's been thirty one years the first time,
you know, I had to give birth to Peter and
then to Frankie twenty seven years ago. Oh damn baby,
(29:02):
and I remember, like I still remember the moment. I
still remember when I had the emergency Cinesian like how
it spelt like when they cut me. Oh I did,
but it took too long, So I remember that so
if I could relive that again, you know, the day
that I became a mother was like, you know, everything
would you want to feel that slice? Well except for that,
(29:25):
but then they put so much on SJ. I couldn't
even carry Peter because like I was vombiting. I got
so nauseous because they gave me. Oh yeah, it makes
me sick too. I mean, there's so many beautiful moments
that I would love, you know, to relive, you know again.
You know, the day I got married with Todd in
Saint Bart's was was beautiful, just him and I just
(29:46):
exchanging our vows alone is better, you know, just so many.
There's so many, you know that I can just think about,
you know that you would want to relive again. But
I think that those are the ones that really, like,
you know, stand out the most. You know, I had
so many beautiful moments with my mom and conversations, oh
my god, you know, with my dad, all the beautiful
(30:07):
trips that I took with my dad, not knowing that
he was going to have such a short life, you know,
and he was going to pass away when he's fifty
two years old. So it's so many of them. You know,
there are things that make me cry. Yeah, I know,
I was trying not to cry and like my voices
like breaking, but yeah, yeah, but you know, with you yeah, no,
for sure. You know, I, like I said, I've had
(30:29):
so many beautiful moments, you know that I would love
to relive with all the people that I've loved in
my life. And imagine how many people I've loved and
how many people I do love, you know that. Yeah,
you know, but you know what I carry inside, like
in my heart, and that's why my heart is so
filled of love, and so it's yours because I only
(30:50):
have love for you know, all these people that were
talking about, and all these moments and that's really all
you take. That's all you take with you. And I
feel like as we get over older, that's like what
we learned. Yeah, you know that all these materials make.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
You have less friends. You you know, who you love,
who you can trust. After a lot of time, you
get a handful of friends. That's all the only people
you want to spend time with, those only people that
make you feel good.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
And me, we asked me, and even with you, you know,
we've had so many beautiful moments, you know, as friends
having fun and celebrating and oh, so imagine me living
all those moments that good ones. We had some good ones,
That's what I'm saying. So it's like there's so many
of them, and you know, and I think that that's
like the secret that people need to hold on to,
(31:41):
like all the good and happy memories. Yeah, because that's
why I live. That's why I live happily. And I
live my life so differently because people say, oh my god,
you've gone through so much, you know, and they're like
they expect you to be miserable and angry and you know,
full of hate and full of sadness and I'm not
that person because I live my life differently and I
always like to take all the good, all the happy,
(32:03):
like that's that's what I really focus on, I swear.
And I know you God, I know you're giving me
that ability because it's such a virtue, Like it's such
an amazing thing that I have that you can just
because if God knows what I would be if I
wouldn't be that way, oh no, no, no noo. So
I just think of all that happy and and you
know what, and there's for me the way that I
(32:25):
look at in my perspective and my world and lectures world,
there's more happiness and greatness and positive things than negative.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
I really do believe, oh absolutely, absolutely, one hundred percent.
There are a lot of people that my God, the
things that have had I don't want to go down
at deep dark at but yeah, there's a lot of
people that I remember my dad had this girl that
he had. He had a few homes in this area
(32:57):
where I live, and there was a girl that would
come to this charity that he found helped fund. It's
helping people that were like amputees or crippled to sail.
Because my dad was a sailor, and he had this
girl that he would have come stay in his home.
She was so she was a theldemite baby. She was
(33:19):
born without arms or legs. And she would drive a huge.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Like what do you call that, like a winnebago, and
she had dogs.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
And he would give her the house and she would
stay there and she would go do the sailing classes,
and she was so happy and giggly. My dad was like,
this girl is so amazing. She's the happiest person in
the whole world. No husband, no children, but she travels
around in her winnebagel. I don't know how she would
drive it without arms and legs and would go sailing.
(33:51):
And she just lived her life happy against all odds.
And we all need to always realize there's someone that
has it worse, and and look at the blessings around you.
Mayor So, I love how spiritual you are. What's the
weirdest superstition secretly that you believe in? Oh, I got
(34:12):
some weird ones, but I feel like it's they're very Latino.
And I'm sure you have the same ones, like putting
your purse on the floor because you lose your money, right,
you have that one what about the toilet sea down?
That's an Asian one?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Oh, is it? I thought it was just like an
obsessive control, like upset, like OCD, like I need to
have the toilet seat down just because like esthetically it's
like it it looks weird, like like I need it down.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
So the Asians believe that all of the negative toxins
and evil spirits live in the toilets. You gotta put
the sea down, you're.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Keeping them out. And yeah, but what about when you
open it to pee whatever and you shut it quickly again? Okay,
I'd like that. So for me, it's not spiritual for superstitious.
For me, it's just that I'm most CD and I
have to see the toilets.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
You're keeping the too, You're keeping the bad juju out
of your house. Do you know how many times in
the middle of the night I go stumbling into the
bathroom because I do tinkle a lot. Well, that's happened too,
Or when the when the seat has been picked up,
which doesn't happen because Booberreley is it down, but that
has happened to me, And then I fall inside.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
There in the middle of the night. It's terrible do
you know what I'm talking about. The happened to me
is that it stays. You know that bike I'm going
by the Wayhotos I was talking about. Yeah, the warm sea,
the warm seat and the flushing and the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Guys, Alexi, you had the best toilet on the planet.
I was just telling you. You walk into the bathroom,
the lid pops open, you sit on the seat, It's
super warm. It feels you would have to get maracled.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
I would be like, bro, can you come out of
the bath I don't want to? And everything I know.
It also has the B day. Oh yeah, it's all there.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
It's got the perfect cleaner. When I sit on that toilet,
I feel like I'm being swallowed by my mother in
the hospital at birth. It's just like takes me back
to the womb. It is so comfortable and delicious. And
then when you get up, it flushes and the lick closes.
I was like, well, okay, mister, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Yeah, it does it offer you so it's so funny.
So when we go on vacation, toilet my friend, yeah,
well everyone should have one in their house. Honestly, it's
life changing. It is life changing. I don't know what
I'm doing it. I would do so much work there.
Oh I know, I like I take longer just because
I have that toilet. Oh, it's excellent. So when we
(36:46):
go on vacation and we're like the hotel's obviously they
don't have that, no matter what, you know, fancy hotel
you stay at, and I forget, So I go pee
and I don't flush. I know. It's like, hey, like
we're not at home, like so I like, it's funny.
So I pin, I'm always being to I'm not like you,
but I can imagine if you will get used to
mine and then he's like, you need to flush because
(37:07):
I forget to flush. I never flushed anywhere, So God
sad if I use your bathroom and I don't flush,
don't judge me. It's just because I'm used to my
total tolia.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
I know, the last few trips I took you, I
was like, I'm.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Sorry, I'm so used to the total doing it for me.
I'm like, okay, I got it. Don't worry. It's true.
Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
I thought the toilet was closed. How has your relationship
with God helped you throughout life?
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Everything? I mean, if God wasn't in my life, you know,
and in my heart we'd have no peace, and then
my yeah, I could not. And this is where you know,
I don't understand, you know how people that you know
don't know God or don't have a relationship with God
or with you know, how they go through things because
(38:10):
I feel that, you know, God has always been so
present in my life. You know. I always went to
Catholic school, and even though I wouldn't go to church
every Sunday, is kind of like He's always lived in
my heart. Like I have a direct communication relationship with him.
I talk to God every single day in the shore
when I'm driving. You know, I'm always thankful in the
(38:34):
morning when I wake up, Like this morning I woke up,
that was the first thing I did, you know. I
talked to him like he's like my best friend, and
like you can't let me down, like you got me
and I got you, but like I need you. So
you know, I talk to God like that, and you know,
so my angels, I'm so filled with faith, and I
think that that's why I've been able to get through
so many things in my life. Absolutely, and for sure
(38:56):
the time that my faith was tested the most, was
it Frankie And and with Frankie's accent, like I saw
like the miracle happen. So I have zero doubts that
there's a God and there's you know, and there's you know,
your angels and like the whole universe, universe just working. Yeah,
(39:18):
when you believe in it, you have to believe in it.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Yes, yeah, Oh my god, I feel like wish I were
on church. I'm like, yes, Amen, praise Lord, pass that
money asking around.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Yeah. And you know, when I was younger, I don't
know ever told you this, but my mom knows. I mean,
my mom's no longer here, but my mom used to
love to tell her friends this. And I would like
write letters to God. Oh really. And it wasn't market.
It wasn't like are you their godess me, Margaret. It
was kind of like, are you their goddess me Alexia?
(39:49):
And I'm not texting writing texting list, Oh I'm so
twenty twenty. I'm not writing about my period. I got
favorite things on my mind. Oh my god, that was
so good. So yeah, I used to write letters to
God and you know, just like you know, like whatever
(40:10):
it was like I was feeling what I would write
to God and I felt so much better. And you know,
I haven't done that a long time again with Frankie's accent,
and I started doing that. Yeah, journaling is good, especially
when you're going through something like that, because there's some
other times when I mean, journaling is always good, that's true,
(40:30):
but specifically that journ.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
But I imagined that if I did it, it would
be good.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Right, No, it is. It's very therapeutic. Yeah, and and
at that moment it was. It was very good for me.
But definitely like I have God present in my life
every single day.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Well, you know what, you can't live without God. He
put us here and he's taken us out and we
got to get along with him in the meantime. Yeah,
and he's shown me a lot of blessings and things
I've asked for one hundred per sid. You just got
to let go. You got to let go and let
him do his thing. You can't put a time frame
(41:08):
on it. You can't demand and you can't expect and
wait for it. You need to set it and you.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Can question him because sometimes that happens to your question
like why is this happening to me?
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Oh, because he's got a better plan for you, and
you just set it out there and throw it into
the universe and it will come around in an even
better way than you even expected.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Relics amen to that. Well, guys, it's been so much fun.
